Mother’s life was like an abstract painting, she lived creatively and managed to keep all the assortment of unique personalities that she loved on one mosaic canvas. She had an inner strength and resolve that kept her going for 96 years. Pansies were her favourite flowers. She loved colours, when she set her mind to something, it got done. In later years, she loved to , crochet and knit in quiet times, but she dedicated much of her life to volunteering and working for the good of others. She remained actively involved in all her charities and “projects” till well into her golden years. RIP Mother, your unconditional love and tenacious spirit, will always be with us.

Much love to you today. I think of death as our 2nd birthday, we all get two “true” births. The first when we arrive and the second when we transition on from this world and what we are into what comes next. I wish you Mom a loving, spectacular 2nd birthday! Muah and hugs from our house.

[…] Good morning family. How are you doing? I’m doing alright, just staying in gratitude as much as I can. Got a letter from my Mom yesterday and that always helps! Thank you Mom! I woke up to blowing winds and heavy rain this morning. Nothing serious, just a quick band of showers passing through. The woman/angel I drew yesterday is gone this morning. I have to admit I was a little sad about that, I was really pleased with how she turned out! Such is the literal nature of drawing things outside in chalk and why I have really taken to it. It is a true lesson about Attachment and the Impermanence of all things. My deepest condolences to fellow blogger and artist Dymoon on the passing of her Mom: https://dymoonblog.com/2017/03/07/mother-1921-2017/ […]

thank you. I do miss being able to pick up the phone .. but I know.. she is much happier no longer having to deal with the pain she had to live with in that last year or so. Your kindness is much appreciated.
